1998 Annie's Lane Shiraz

Subscribe to stock alerts

The 1998 vintage in the Clare Valley was one of the best in the last decade producing wines of incredible intensity. David O'Leary is right on top of this vintage and has produced a wine that has strong parallels with the 1996. The wine was matured in a combination of new and seasoned American oak hogsheads for 18 months. Outstanding mauve purple colour. Magnificent nose of vanilla, spice, ripe blackberry, plum, liquorice and confectionary. The palate is mouthfilling, loads of flavour and superbly integrated with French and American oak. Liquorice, vanilla, confectionary, ripe crushed inky blackberry and blackpepper. Fine dry tannins, perfect balance and very long peppery, plum, blackberry aftertaste. Outstanding value. Cellar 3-5 years.
